Hi everyone.

One client is asking to me to check what they where looking on internet the high consumpiton users in order to be blocked.

Device->Reports → DPI reports in Incontrol2, uncheck group applications by category.

Any way to grab this information locally from the Peplink router API?

Specifically I’d be interested in the bytes in and out per connected client since power-up (but even better if the counters could be categorized by what WAN the traffic went to or came from, so as to not penalize clients for client-to-client traffic across the LAN)

If this worked, the application I have in mind (to throttle the least efficient users of the data allocation on private jets…e.g. those updating all 200 of their iPhone apps aboard a plane) would make the MAX BR2 Pro with Docker capability very compelling as a cost containment solution.

Hi! Currently it’s only possible via the InControl2 API, not the local router API. You can get daily or hourly bandwidth usage statistics for each client. Here you can find the InControl2 API documentation.

I’d have on my wishlist something that can get realtime counters since powerup, so they can be autoblocked before they get a chance to wipe out the month’s satellite data cap and push us into overage. In an hour or day, the damage is already done.

I would like a real-time warning about high usage clients. Something with configurable limits and based on data that is already being kept by the router.
